YOU ARE NEEDED!
Have you ever thought, "I would like to do more to make a difference in the world"? One way you can do just that is to be a hospice volunteer.
As a hospice companion volunteer you would make a difference in the life of a terminally ill patient by offering friendship and support. This typically includes: chatting with them, listening to their stories, reading to them, playing music, or just sitting quietly with them. Patient visits take place where the patient lives which is either in their home or in a care facility.
An excellent orientation and training program prepares a new volunteer for success and enjoyment as a hospice volunteer. Hospice training and volunteer activities can easily be planned around your schedule.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of people who have life-limiting illness. We seek to relieve pain and prevent suffering as well as assist in completion of end-of-life tasks that are important to the patient. We also support the family and other loved ones through education and counseling and through bereavement care.
Description
The volunteers are an essential part of the Kindred Hospice Team! They make a difference in the lives of our hospice patients and families by sharing their time and talents. The volunteers may make friendly visits, read to the patients, listen to their stories and hold a patient's hand for comfort. The volunteer may share a friendly pet, their musical talents or massage therapy to provide companionship and socialization. Volunteers may also share their office skills in an office setting by filing and bereavement mailings. By bringing an open heart and a willingness to learn and grow, the Kindred hospice volunteers make a difference on the lives of others, one person at a time.
